Notes Fifteenth century copy of part of an unidentified commentary on Abu
‗Abd Allah Muhammad b. Isma‘il al-Bukhari‘s (194-256/810-870) al-
Jami‘ al-Sahih in unpointed naskh (the so-called ‗sama‘ma‘ –script).--
Our copy contains the biographical part of the Sahih, commenting
the traditions concerned with the life of Muhammad from this birth to
his death.-- These traditions are deal with in the Kitab Fada‘il Ashab
al-Nabi, starting with the Bab Manaqib al-Muhajirin, up to and
including the Bab Wafat al-Nabi, from the Kitab al-Maghazi.-- The
present copy is not part of the famous commentary by Ibn Hajar al-
Asqalani (the Fath al-Bari), although a note on the first leaf of our
manuscript does mention Ibn Hajar as author of this commentary.--
A remarkably clean copy, virtually free from annotations, and with
only occasional dampstains, on thick yellowish paper.-- Red ink
used for sub-headings and for indication of new traditions.-- Judging
from the script, the ms. may have been
copied in Egypt, in the 15th/16th century.-- Old oriental calf, blind-
tooled decoration in the middle of both covers, rubbed and stained;
flap missing.

Transliteration Marah al-arwah (1) 161
Title شاح االساح
Author A.b. ‗A. b. Mas‘ud
Description 114 leaves; 7, 13 and 9 lines per page.-- 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches
Notes Dated 19 Rabi‘ al-Awwal, 943 (Sept. 5, 1536).-- Three different
hands.-- The beginning of the book has 13 lines per page; then
there is a much later paper with 9 lines per page; then the largest
portion of the book has 7 lines per page.-- The first section is written
is a flowing Indian Naskh of about the 18th century; the newest
leaves are 18th or Early 19th century; the oldest are those of the
16th century.-- Red headings on old, brownish paper.-- The script of
the oldest part is a curious Naskh, almost like the Khatti Bihar.--
There are many interlinear and marginal notes on every page.-- The
entire ms. has been remargined (by the best bookbinder in Karachi,
at the orders of this writer ) in white paper, and each leaf has been
interleaved with a blank white leaf.-- The whole has been bound in
half-leather gold-stamped hard-cover binding, so that it is entirely
usable and quite a presentable ms.-- It is most interesting because
the scribe, who gives his name as Adam b. Sikandar b. Ma‘ruf
Multani, states that this copy was completed during
the time when the Mughal army was conquering the fort of
Champaner.-- The Cambridge History of India states that the
Emperor Humayun conquered Champaner on the 9th of August,
1535 (the scribe must have added his colophon later).-- This adds
considerable historical value to the book and allows an exact dating
of this variety of script.

Description 519 leaves; 13 lines per page.-- 21 x 12 1/2 inches
Notes N.d.-- No copyist.-- Written in black ―Khatti Bihar‖ script – a type of
Indian semi Kufic-semi-Naskh script which went extinct in the 16th
century with the fall of the Suri family.-- This is rare by itself – but
even more interesting in the fact that this book contains an interlinear
Persian commentary in extremely archaic Persian in an archaic script
similar to Nasta‘liq but still much like Naskh.-- This translation is
unknown and is definitely not Tabari, etc.-- Its language is quite
archaic, and some words are completely unknown, even to the great
dictionary, Burhani Qati‘.-- The margins also contain a short tafsir in
the same Persian.-- The interlinear translation, punctuation, the
name of God, chapter headings, etc. are red; the rest is in black.--
Yellow has also been used for symbols marking the ends of verses.--
Red and blue margin borders.-- When received, the margins of this
book were terribly wormeaten (though the text had not suffered), but
now all margins have been completely repaired with transparent
plastic tape (made especially for books like this), and the

a lost medieval translation and tafsir.-- The script is 9th-10th century
Hijri, and other copies the author has seen are not so old, lack the
translation and tafsir, and are often quite fragmentary.

Thursday night, 22 Muharram in the year 1121 [April 3, 1709] by the
hand of…Sadiq b. Murad b. ‗Ashur…in Damascus, Syria‖.-- This
implies that the old leaves were by al-Nawawi‘s own hand, and the
archaic naskh bears out their antiquity (he died in 676/1278).-- Pages
carefully copied and inserted make the book complete.-- Partially

Notes An eighth century hijrah copy of Sa‘d al-Din Mas‘ud al-Taftazani‘s al-
Sarh al-Mutawwal, his extended commentary on an abridgement of
al-Sakkaki‘s Miftah al-‗Ulum.-- Composed in 748/1347 in Heral, this
work is one of the most influential books on rhetorics written in Arabic
and survives in countless copies.-- Copied by Muhammad b. Ibrahim
b. Sulaiman al-Ladiqi for personal use, it may have been written at
most some 40 years after al-Taftazani finished his work, since the
date furnished by the copyist reads, 7.5 (unfortunately the second
cipher has been erased), but not before 757 at which date madrasa
of Sargatmis where the copying took place was just finished.-- This
pious institution lies in the vicinity of the b. Tulun Mosque in Cairo.--

Description 307 fols.
Notes Tafsir al-Qur‘an.-- This work seems to represent one of, at least
three or four existing redactions the authors or which are still not yet
identified.-- The original text, says F. Sezgin (1:27) was by Ibn Abbas
(d. 68-70/687-689) and al-Tabari had it incorporated fully in his Tafsir
as it was transmitted by ‗Ali b. Abi Talha (d. 120/737).-- In the four
redactions consulted so far (2 in Chester Beatty, 1 in the Qarawiyyin
in Fas and of al-Firuzabadi), the Isnads (chains of transmission)
which evantually leads to al-Kalbi and Ibn ‗Abbas, differ widely.-- Of
the Berlin version (no. 732) Ahlward says: ―nach dieser Riwaje,
welche sich auf Hisam b. Muhammad al-Kalbi (d. 204/819) Stutzt
Ruhrt Dies Werk von ibn Abbas her – dessen Aechheit in dieser form
aber misslich scheint. Die Redaction gehort wel dem 4 Jahrhundert
der Higra an‖.-- Juding from few authorities quoted in the text like al-
Hakim al-Nisaburi (d. 404/1013) and some commentaries by the
author on controversial dogmatic points apparently directed against
the Mu‘tazilites, we can safely assume that the
author was a Shafi‘i and Ash‘ari scholar who lived in the 6th/12th
either in Iraq or Khurasan. His views are clearly shown in his work in
the following fols. 69a, 93a, 171b, 196a, 200a and 206b. Ibn ‗Abbas
appears only twice in the whole work.-- The Reduction by the famous
al-Firuzabadi (pub. in Cairo in 1316 A.H. under the title: al-Miqbas –
etc) does not tally with our version neither do the rest (Ch.B. 4224,
5465; Qar. 928, Berlin 742) in spite of the striking similarities which
can be observed in the texts.-- The 1st fol. and the last are missing.
Written in a fine scholarly Mamluki Naskh by a least three scribes.
Paper and types of script is typical of the eight / 14C, most probably
written in Syria or Egypt. The whole work appears to consists of three
vols. of which this is the 1st containing the commentary Surah 1-18.

Description
Notes Important 12th/18th century astrological majmu'ah consisting of four
unpublished texts of which the last two items are ascribed to
Dorotheos and Hermes Trismegistos resprctively.-- The fist text of
this collection is the Nihayat al-Idrak fi Asrar ‗Ulum al-Aflak by the
seventh century hijrah Yemenite scholar Muhammad b. Abi Bakr al-
Farisi(d. 677/1278).-- An incomplete copy of this work is described by
Ahlwardt under number 5888; oter mss will be found in GAL I 474
and its supplement, further in Ullmann, Die Natur- und
Geheimwissenschaften im Islam, Leiden, 1972, p. 342. See also
Kahhalah IX 117 and Zirikli, V155.-- Our copy was written 21 Rajab
1135/1722, 15 years before the Berlin copy.-- Fols 63b to 94b contain
in one hand three texts, respectively.-- An extract from Abu al-Hasan
b. Sahl al-Ista'ili's Kitab fi ahkam al-nawalid; the incipit of our copy
reads: "Bab al-nazar fi't-tarbiya: li yajun (sic) nazaruka fi auwal at-
tarbiya min al-qamar wa ashab mutallatat at-tali'..." (fol. 63b).-- On
fol. 83b it is followed by a short treatise ascribed to Dorotheos
entitled Kitab fi ma'rifat aqdar al-mawalid which extends to fol.
85b.-- The last text of our manuscript is styled ―Kitab Wada‘ahu
Hirmis ra‘s al-Hukama‘ wa Intahalahu wa Intaqabahu wa Imtahanahu
Min Asrar an-Nugum (?) ―fol. 85b), and starts off, directly after the
Basmala, with the purpose of its composition: ―Ana wasif Laka min
amr as-sa‘ada ma yugtabat bihi wa yu‘azzam ma‘ahu…‖.-- The text
purports to prescribe to physicians the propitious times for
medication and ends on fol. 94b with the heading ―cupping‖
(higama), followed by the section ―on vomitting‖ (qai‘); ―yuhtar
fi‘l—qai‘ kaun al-qamar fi‘t-taur (?) mas‘ud that al-ard..‘. The
prescriptions found in this text are based on the observation of the
stars used by the nomads in the deserts as guiding stars ―al-Kawakib
al-Babaniya‖, fol. 85b.-- None of these three texts are found in
Brockelmann‘s Geschichte der Arabischen Litteratur. M. Ullmann, in
his Die Natur – und Geheimwissenschaften im Islam, Leiden, 1972,
pp. 308, 280-1 and 290 respectively, knows of one copy only, kept in
the Chester Beatty Library inder no. 5399, which contains these three
texts in the same order; the Hermes text of that copy is not complete,
however.-- More
references to Hermes may be found in the index to Ullman‘s work
and in GAS III 170-1, IV 42-3 and VII 50-8, especially p. 55 which
mentions under no. 6a Kitab al-Asrar li Harmis used by Abu Ma‘sar in
his Asrar an-Nugum. An account of the Hermetical tradition in EI III
pp. 463-4 s.v. Hirmis (art by M. Plessner).-- 94 fols. 202 x 149mm,
17 lines nashi; fols 63b to 94b. 23 lines nashi; some drawings in the
first text. A clean copy only slightly browned. The last three texts are
dated, 11 years after the Nihayat al-Idrak, on 12 Safar, 1146/July 23,
1733 (fol. 94b.).-- Ownership entries are found on fol. 1a of
Muhammad Sa‘id b. Pir ‗Otman, Amir Ahmad As‘ad b. Sulaiman ‗Arif,
dated, 1188, Muhammad As‘ad, dated, 1220, Muhammad Sadiq
Gahankiri and as-Saiyid Muhammad Tahir.

Notes Interesting astronomical codex containing i.a. ‗Abd al-Rahman as-
Sufi‘s work on the use of the astrolabe.-- Fols. 2b-65 contain the
Tasqih al-Idrak fi Sarh Tasrih al-Aflak, a commentary by ‗Abd Allah b.
Fahr ad-Din (al-A‘rag) al-Husaini al-Mausili (d. 1188) on Baha‘ad-Din
al-‗Amili‘s Tasrih al-Aflak.-GAL S II 595 6e (1 copy).-- Born in al-
Mausil where he held the function of Hanafi mufti, our commentator
later went to Baghdad where he was appointed wali Diwan al-Insa‘;
besides the present work, which was glossed by his friend ‗Abd ar-
Rahman as-Suwaidi (see Brockelmann, I.c. and S II 501), he wrote
another astronomical treatise (following item), a work on kalam and
some poetry.- Kahhala, VI 101, Zirikli IV, 112.-- 203x 80 mm, 21
lines clearly readable nashi with many excellent drawings;many
annotations in the margin in the hand of the scribe and perhaps of
‗Abd ar-Rahim as-Suwaidi, grandson of ‗Abd ar-Rhaman (GAL S II
785, Kahhala V 212), whose ownership entry is found on the last
page of this codex.--
As a special feature may be mentioned that our copy retains the
author‘s colophon dated 15 Shauwal, 1182, while our copy was
completed within 2 weeks after that date. The copyist gives as his
name Zakariya.-- The second item is also a commenary by al-
Mausili, similarly on a text by al-‗Amili. It is entitled Sawanih al-
Qariha fi Sarh as-Safiha, dealing with the use of the astrolabe.
Brockelmann doest not mention this commentary; it is, however,
mentioned as Sarh as-Safina li‘l-‗Amili in Kahhala, I.c.-- Of particular
interest is the fact that this copy mentions explicity in the preliminary
that the author saw himself abliged to revise and correct his text ―li
Katrat Tashif an-Nussah‖ (fol. 68b line 16 – fol. 69a line 7); at the last
page the text one also finds a remark to the effect that it had been
collated (fol. 95a in the margin).-- Although undated the unsigned,
one may identify the copyist with the Zakariya mentioned in item no.
1 because of the similarity of the script.-- The text covers fols. 67b-
95a and has 21 lines clearly legiable nashi per page, with some
glosses and collations in the margin.--

Notes Fols. 97b to 116a contain the first part of ad-Damamini‘s ‗Uyun al-
fahira, his commentary on al-Hazragi‘s al-Qasida ar-Ramiza fi ‗ilm al-
‗Arud wa‘lqafiya.- GAL I 312, Ahlwardt 7116.-- Undated, in a different
style, but possibly also by the same scribe. 21 lines nashi per page.--
The Fourth text is as-Sagani‘s Muhtasar al-‗Arud of which
Brockelmann mentions three copies; it has not yet been edited. GAL
I 361 8 and S I 615.-- 21 lines per page clear nashi, copied by
Zakariya b. Molla (?), see nos. 1 and 2; the text covers fols. 117a to
124b.-- Fols. 127b to 289a contain ‗Abd ar-Rahman as-Sufi‘s al-
‗Amal bi‘l-Astrulab.- F + GAS VI 215.-- The astronomoer ‗Abd ar-
Rahman as-Sufi was court astronomer of the Buyid ruler ‗Adud ad-
Daula. One of the most eminent scholars in the field among the
Muslims, he is best known for his work on the fixed stars, the Kitab
Suwar al-Kawakib.-- The Present text is a nearly complete copy of
his work on the use of the astrolabe, arranged in 402 abwab. Of the
seven known copies, only three are complete; our copy lacks the
40th bab (fols. 151a-
152b) and has some blank spaces on various pages, intended for
drawings; otherwise, it is sound and clear legible in the handwriting of
Zakariya b. Molla Gum‘a (?) and dated 1183/1769. The Haydarabad,
1962. Edition was based on the (incompleted) copy of the
Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris.-- Lastly we might mention the
ownership-entry of Sulaiman as-Suwaidi on fol. 1a dated, 1228. This
member of the famous Suwaidi family Baghdad is credited with a
commentary on al-Khatibi‘s ar-Risala as-Samsiya and mentioned in
Brockelmann S II 785 and Kahhala IV 274. Together with the
ownership-entry of ‗Abd al-Rahim as-Suwaidi mentioned in the first
item and his grandfather‘s acquaintance with al-Mausili this
manuscript permits an interesting insight in the scholarly life of a
great Baghdadi family.

Notes Small Ottoman manuscript: Dated‖ 1302/1886, concerned with
talismans, the mysterious Qur‘anic lettercombinations (al-huruf al-
muqatta‘at), an eulogy on the companions who fell at the Battles of
Badr and Uhud, and an Ottoman-Turkish rendering of the Qasida
Gulgulutiya ascribed to ‗Ali b. Abi Talib, with an accompanying Syriac-
Arabic glossary.-- All texts embodied in this codex evidently were
meant to invoke mediation and to secure immunity from evils.-- The
First text (fols. 1-5), entitled al-Qasida as-Sarifa al-Maimuna al-
Mubaraka, thus deals with the mysterious lettercombinations Taha,
Yasin, Tasin & c., found at the head of some suras. The various uses
to which there lettercombinations ca be put are set forth in an
intricate poetic hotch-potch of nawadir (in arabic). These lines are
accompanied by a magical quadrant (fol. 5) ascribed to ‗Ali b. Abi
Talib.-- Fols. 6a to 12a contain first an Ottoman-Turkish rendering of
the mysterious Qasida gulgulutiya commonly ascribed to ‗Ali, with a
Syriac-Arabic glossary and Ottoman-Turkish instructions on
fols 11a-12a. The gulgulutiya does not belong to the Diwan of Ali and
is extant in only ten manuscripts. Fuat Sezgin does not record any
Ottoman-Turkish translation (GAS II 280).-- From fol. 12b onwards.
An alphabetical list of the companions who assisted at the Battle of
Badr (12b-33b) and Uhud (33b-41a) is given, each time followed with
the wish that God grants immunity from sickness and evils by virtue
of the intercession of the martyrs of Badr and Uhud. Muhammad b.
Ibrahim al-Hilmi az-Zaila‘i , the scribe of the whole codex, cites on
fols. 13a-b both Ga‘far as-Sadiq and Ibn Saiyid an-Nas who
recommended the intercession of these companions.--
Contemporary red leather binding with flap, blindtooled decoration on
both covers. An attractives, well-preserved and well-written
